monad-bayes: A library for probabilistic programming.

[ library, mit, program, statistics ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

A library for probabilistic programming using probability monads. The emphasis is on composition of inference algorithms implemented in terms of monad transformers. Please refer to the documentation for a quick-start user guide and a reference overview of how it all works" and the included README.

Readme for monad-bayes-1.1.0

Monad-Bayes

A library for probabilistic programming in Haskell.

See the website for an overview of the documentation, library, tutorials, examples (and a link to this very source code).

Created by Adam Scibior (@adscib), documentation, website and newer features by Reuben, maintained by Tweag.

Project status

Now that monad-bayes has been released on Hackage, and the documentation and the API has been updated, we will focus on adding new features. See the Github issues to get a sense of what is being prepared, and please feel free to make requests.

Background

The basis for the code in this repository is the ICFP 2018 paper [2]. For the code associated with the Haskell2015 paper [1], see the haskell2015 tag.

Hacking

  1. Install stack by following these instructions.

  2. Clone the repository using one of these URLs:

    git clone [email protected]:tweag/monad-bayes.git
git clone https://github.com/tweag/monad-bayes.git

Now you can use stack build, stack test and stack ghci.

To view the notebooks, go to the website. To use the notebooks interactively:

  1. Compile the source: stack build
  2. If you do not have nix install it.
  3. Run nix develop --system x86_64-darwin --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes - this should open a nix shell. For Linux use x86_64-linux for --system option instead.
  4. Run jupyter-lab from the nix shell to load the notebooks.

Your mileage may vary.
